On-Demand Recording
📽 Receive all the valuable tools, guidance, and materials as if you attended live!
There are two major federal laws dealing with work leave - FMLA and the ADA – and they're both complex!
To stay compliant, you need to know these laws front to back and how they overlap. Plus, you need to understand the related impact of state workers’ compensation laws, family leave acts, paid sick leave acts, and pregnancy leave acts.
In this 75-minute program, we’ll dive into the primary work leave elements of the FMLA and ADA and what to do when regulations collide. We’ll also provide guidance on how other leave acts impact HR – including benefits management decisions.
You’ll leave this training prepared to:
- Uncover which work leave laws apply to any given set of circumstances

- Maintain compliant documentation for work leave at your organization
- Answer managers’ and employees’ questions on qualifying leave
